The conservative advocacy group American Future Fund is dropping $900,000 on a round of television and radio ads urging a group of centrist Democrats to "start over" on the health care bill.

The ad buy comes on the heels of another $500,000 round of advertising the group ran on national cable during the run-up to the White House health care summit two weeks ago.

The message in the two ads is similar -- the health care legislation Democrats are pushing amounts to "massive spending, backroom deals ... $500 billion in Medicare cuts, crushing burdens on small businesses," as the latest ad says -- but this time the targets are 18 House Democrats, who could be the swing votes when the bill comes back to the House.
